About
An Introduction to Panhandle Drafting, LLC
Panhandle Drafting, LLC was founded in 2019 by Zachary Brown in Urbana, Illinois. Before starting Panhandle Drafting, LLC, Zac worked for over 20 years for a local steel fabricator. Starting in the shop and transitioning to steel detailing over 15 years ago, Zac has been heavily involved in the steel fabrication business from all aspects of shop work, coordinating, purchasing, and delivery. Zac started detailing in 2004 and began using Tekla Structures in 2008. Zac works extensively with other trades involved in the construction industry and the steel fabrication process including architects, engineers, general contractors, pre-casters, erectors, joist deck manufacturers, and grating suppliers.
The Panhandle Drafting, LLC team strives to provide knowledgeable and professional detailing services. Our team utilizes Tekla Structures for modeling, drawings, and CNC outputs, and other programs such as Bluebeam, DraftSight, Adobe, and RISA Connections. Currently Panhandle Drafting, LLC is serving clients in these states in the Midwest: Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri.
